At first I was hyped - but then reality set in. NOOOOOO.
I could see why they'd do it - developers are pushing the envelope on the data storage - BUT ... if you come out with games that utilize the HD-DVD drive, you are forcing 12 million folks to spend an additional $99-150 to upgrade. And Sony will just sit back and laugh.
If they brought it out at like $449 - and offered the HD-DVD drive at $99, I would definitely consider it ...
UPDATE: Or ... they could offer multidisk games on the regular Xbox 360 and HD-DVD games on the enhanced 360.
Hmmmm ... you've piqued my interest, Konnichiwa ...
